Hey guys, hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I had the chance to stop at Giant and do a quick trip and pick up the things that were on my list. We can always use more bottled water and peanut butter.
Here is what I did:
Buy (5) Deer Park $10.00
Buy (5) Smart Balance Natural Peanut Butter $12.50
Buy (5) Honest Kids Juice $15.00
Buy (7) Hola Fruit $10.50
Buy (2) Smart Balance Oil $5.00
Buy (1) Smart Balance Cooking Spray $2.00
Total $55.00
Get $2.00 off Gas
Total of $60.00 off gas ($2.00 x 30)
Free after Gas Points
As you can see I didn’t use any coupons for this and still saved big! If you are hesitant to use coupons, you can still save by using opportunities like gas points or instant savings – check out the coffee deal for just $1.87 per bag.
What was your scenario this week?
Sandy says
I think our Martin’s deal is different. It’s “Buy 5, get 200 points,” which is 20 cents per gallon. So if I bought the 5 deals you did, I’d only get $1.00 off per gallon instead of $2. :-( Usually our flyer matches up with what you post here, but this week it doesn’t seem to be the same.
Shannon says
Yuck Sandy lets hope this is not the trend. Our flyer is 400 wyb 5 , double check to make sure i wasn’t loosing it :)

Well, this week I went to Martin’s and was not planning to get any of the gas deals because of the points vs. cents off issue. But out in front of the store was a sign that said, “Earn 10 cents off per gallon for every 50 points.” I checked the sales circular and it still says 10 cents per 100 points, but at checkout I did get 10 cents per 50 points. Maybe they are just trying to confuse people who do the deals regularly??
Amber Morris says
JeR – did you use coupons for your transaction?
heidi says
Does anyone think the 5x points deals make sense? I dont see a real deal with that
Andrea says
Hi Heidi,
Personally, I think if you are going to buy the items anyway, it’s nice to get the extra points. However, I probably would not buy those to try and get a “good gas deal.” They don’t really compare to the buy x get $.xx off per gallon deals.

5 dear park waters($10). 10 hola fruta($15) 5 Philly swirl bars($10)6 kKlondike bars($18-6 off in coupons so $12 and 4 smart balance spray ($8).. Total $55 ..earned $2.40 off in gas or $72 with 30 gallon fill up
Sharon says
I tried those Hola Fruit thingies one other time as a gas deal…we didn’t like them – they’re horribly sweet. But they make amazing
milk shakes! Just add milk to them in the blender…best thing in the world on a hot summer day…taste like the fruit was just picked!
Shannon says
Good idea!
Christina says
This is great! I don’t use all 30 gallons of gas – I use 17. So if I did this deal, I would only end up paying $0.84 per item which is still awesome! Always worth it to do gas deals.

Does anyone know if the 3x the points gift card deal is still working this week?
megan clemetson says
Yes it is until tomorrow 5/12. I got a $400 visa today and got $1.20 off. I would not get the master card though. I got one the other day for $500 and the funds were unavailable for 7-10 days. Totally bs. The bank that issues the master card is having issues. But no issues with the visa card different issuing bank.
JeR says
I bought 6 Sara Lee pound cakes and 9 Hola Fruta (which everyone loved!) for 23.45 and accumulated 1200 points=$36 gas!
